FOREIGN IN TELLIGENCE. (From the French Papers of Thursday.) . B AYONNE, S EPT. 17.—The Christino troops have been all 111 Motion for these four or five days ; they arrive from diffe r.ent parts to assemble towards the banks of the Ebro, in the !!irection of Haro, La Guardia, Logrono, Calapora, and as far as Lodosa, to the number of about 20,000 men, under the ' c ommand of General Oraa. This General has brought the battalions from Vittoria. It is said that the effect of their movement is to prevent the departure of the Carlist corps, commanded by Pablo Saucz and Basilio Garcia, and at the s ame tim e to penetrate into Navarre on the side of Estella. The Ch r i stinos have just made a first attempt to attain this ob ject. The following is a letter from the Carlist Head quarters, dated 15th : "" The Christinos to the number of 6,000 infantry and 4,500 alrY, entered Los Arcos on the 13th.

The Duchess of Gloucester ac companied the King to day in his carriage. The Queen rode out on horseback yesterday. The Duchess of Gloucester is expected to leave the Castle at the end of next week. His Majesty, it is expected, will go to town on Wednesday. His Majesty's portrait, in his royal robes (by the President of the Royal Academy), has been placed in Dublin Castle. Some years ago the President painted a fine likeness of the Sovereign when Duke of Clarence, which was exhibited in the Royal Academy. On Sunday the King of the French went to Ver sailes, and visited the works in the Palace, accompanied by Count de Lowenhielm, Minister of Sweden and Norway, who afterwards dined with his Majesty at Neuilly. Count de Wetterstedt, Swedish Minister of Foreign Affaires, was to have been of the party, but was prevented by severe indispositon. The Prince and Princess Galitzin, after sojourning at Bath for a few days, proceeded on a visit to the Duke of Beaufort at Badminton. The marriage between King Otho of Greece and the Princess Amelia of Oldenburgh is to be solemnised at Munich on the 3d of October. The Prince and Princess of Capua were on the 14th inst. at Bastia, in Corsica, whither they had arrived five days before, on board the Napoleon steam-boat. They had been visited by General Tiburce Sebastiani and the English Consul, and were to depart shortly for Malta, where they in tended spending the winter. The Hon. G. Berkeley, M.P., has brought to bag up to the 22d of September, with one gun and a brace of pointers, five hundred head of game, all but one-and-twenty brace of which were partridges. The Hon. MrS. Arthur Stanhope intends passing the greater part of the winter with her daughter and son-in law, at their seat in Warwickshire. The Speaker and his lady proceed from their seat, Stubbing Court, Chesterfield, to visit the Duke of Devonshire, at Chatsworth. The Right Hon. Gentleman, when he was M.P. for Caine, was auditor to the extensive estates of the Noble Duke in England and Ireland. Col. Le Breton, Major Fordyce, and Capt. Pole are gone to the North, to join the fashionable sportsmen now assembled there. Mr. William Holmes only accompanied the Duke of Cumberland across the water, and returned the next day. Since that period Mr. Holmes has been in London. It is said that J. Mackenzie, Esq., only son of Sir James Mackenzie, Bart., of Roseburgh House, Ross-shire, is shortly to be united to one of the beautiful daughters of Lord Viscount Maynard. The Marquis of Lansdowne visited the Chancellor of the Exchequer yesterday morning, at his office in Down ing-street. Lord John Russell, the Accountant-General, and the Chairman of the Excise, transacted business yesterday at the Chancellor of the Exchequer's Office, in Downing-street. The Military Secretary to the Commander-in-Chief, the Adjutant-General, and Mr. Bernard, the Agent for the Cape of Good Hope, transacted business yesterday at the Co lonial Department. Baron Koudener, the Russian Minister at Wash ington, who is at present sojourning in town, is likely to be succeeded by Baron de Maltita. The Kendal Mercury states that the health of Mr. Barham, M.P., is such as to leave not the least hope of his ever again resuming his Parliamentary duties. Mr. Charles Wood, Secretary to the Admiralty, proceeds from the seat of his father, Sir H. Wood, Bart., Heckleton Hall, to attend a public dinner, which is to be given to him and Mr. Protheroe, on the 30th instant, at Halifax. In consequence of Sir William Alolesworth's late letter, announcing his intention not to come forward for East Cornwall in the event of another election, it is said the To ries there are striving to get up a requisition, calling on Lord Eliot to come forward as their candidate. Mr. William Wordsworth, jun., son of the poet, is one of the candidates for the Secretaryship of the Birming ham and Derby Company. Mr. Beaumont's house at Hyde Park-corner is at last finished, and when furnished will be one of the most beautiful mansions in the kingdom. Mr. P.

Sheridan arrived at their seat, Frampton House, near Dorchester, on Tuesday afternoon last, together with their daughter, the infant heiress of the estates. The principal Club-houses are undergoing renova tion and improvements, preparatory to the return of the several members from the country. SHERIFFS' STATE CARRIAGES.—The splendid state carriages of Messrs. Duke and Johnson, the Sheriffs elect, have been for some days past objects of considerable at traction at the builders', Powells, of Old Bond-street, where they are now to be seen. Both Sheriffs belong to the Spec tacle-makers' Company. Sheriff Duke's carriage is a superb equipage of a copal blue colour, with the City arms and those of his Company beautifully emblazoned on the doors and quar ters ; the family arms intermingled with the rose, thistle, and shamrock, palm-branch, and laurel-leaf; the interior decora tions are en suite. The carriage of Mr. Sheriff Johnson is equally splendid ; it is of a maroon-colour, with the arms richly raised in silver. We are informed by the parties who sent a parcel of newspapers to Birmingham, on Saturday last, upon which a charge of postage to the extent of 2751. was made, that it con tained no posting nor hand bills, but merely a schedule of con tents, which was pasted on the canvass paper. The fact shows how necessary it is to be careful in the transmission of news papers. —Morning Paper. The German papers say, that the judicial inquiries commenced in Brunswick immediately after the burning of the Palace, in 1830, are nearly brought to a close, and that they implicate several persons in office. THE SELF-ELECTED CANDIDATE FOR WIGAN. —Mr. Wilkins has undertaken the patronage of the very parties he before assailed. He is the crack orator of the Not tingham and Lancashire Conservatives and the intended Re presentative for the town of Wigan, in the Tory interest. The good people of Wigan will be honoured by this amphibious re presentative, if they will give him their sweet voices, and the dramatic ex-editor and ex-radical of Lincoln will doubtless be a very distinguished evidence of the intellectual judgment of the electors of Wigan, of which we shall have great pleasure in congratulating them—when they accept of the honour in tended to be conferred by this great talker on both sides, — who, since 'his exit from Lincoln, has most appropriately adopted the calling of a barrister, and will no doubt make Wig-an a convenient stage whereon he may exhibit his apti tude of playing " Orator Puff with two tones to his voice."— Lincoln Gazette. MY GRANDMAMA V. " MY UNCLE ." —The gos sips of Romford have been furnished with matter for nine days' chat, by the fact of a young lady having quitted the roof of her grandmama without leave or license, and thrown herself for better or for worse into the arms of a pawnbroker of the town. Miss was the daughter of a deceased iron monger, but her heart was made of neither steel nor marble, and having once melted before the soft whispers of her " uncle," all the lectures and frowns of her grandmama essayed in Vain to redeem it. The consequence was, that on Wednesday night, just as slumber began to lay his downy fingers on grandmama's eyelids, the young lady was taken in —that is, into a chaise and her lover's arms—and away they whisked to have the twain made one. No doubt, says a wag at our elbow, the husband will find an addition to the number of his pledges.—Essex Herald. CLARA NOVELLO.—TIic cause of her quitting Paris arose from the ccclessiastical establishment being broken up, at the breaking out cf the last revolution, in 1830. The governess of the female pupils, being alarmed for the safety of the young people—particularly for Clara, who was a foreigner, and a favourite with her, applied to a friend of the family to receive her little charge. She was, in consequence, hurried through the turbulent streets, meeting, in her progress, the wounded and dead who were being conveyed from the field of strife. The horrid novelty of the scene produced so strong an effect upon her nervous system, that, upon her arrival at the destined asylum of her friends, she sank into a sleeping stupor in which she remained thirty-six hours; and thus, in all pro bability, was providentially saved from an attack of brain fever. —Musical World. So far as the Yeomanry of East Cumberland arc concerned, they have declared, in the most unequivocal man ner, that if a change in the Constitution of the House of Lords is found necessary to ensure the fruits of the Reform Bill, they are prepared to deal with the Tory Peers after the fashion in which, in 1830 and 1831, they dealt with their pocket bo roughs.— Whitehaven Herald. Owing to some differences betwixt masters and men in the tailoring trade, there is at present a strike. It appears that the masters have formed a Union to destroy the men's Union, and will employ no one who belongs to it, which is the cause of the quarrel.—Leeds Advertiser. The Hue and Cry of Thursday contains the fol lowing particulars of a most daring highway robbery. On Saturday last, as Mr. William Mead, a gentleman re sidingi harn near Aylesb ury , was r idi ng on h orse b ac k towards his home , he was stopped within a short distance of al v Bielston by five me n, t leoenns evening who sprung from a hedge by the road side, and having cut the reins, two of the fellows dragged him from the saddle to the ground, while their companions plun dered him of a red morocco pocket-book, containing notes to the amount of 75g., as also 5/. in gold and silver, with which they made off across the fields and escaped, SCOTTISH CHURCH. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—The Pulpit of the Scottish. Church, London Wall, is at present vacant, and as it is of much importance to Scotch men residing in London, that the choice of the future mi nister be such, as may prove more creditable for ability and popular qualification than many that have been made of late years, may I request the favour of your giving this a place in your Journal, as it may be the means of leading to such a contest of talent, as will terminate in a more satis factory appointment than may otherwise be come to. Many of those who have been educated as Presbyterians, and who, of course, are much attached to that simple and rational form of religious observance, have been so mortified, on coming to the metropolis, at witnessing the glaring in competency manifested in the pulpits of their oven denomi• nation, as to be under the necessity of resorting to Dissen ters, and in many instances, of becoming fixed members of their communities. They have no other choice—it is their only alternative ; but it is one which would not be thought of, did merit and not party influence determine the selection of their ministers. As for the Church of England, with its enormous abuses, Popish formularies, unintelligible creeds, diversity of garments, and a routine of worship, savouring more of priestcraft than of Scriptural authority, I trust there are few of my countrymen who are found to counte nance it. It is fit only for those who are more fond of dis play than of common sense, and who consult their Prayer Books more than their Bibles. As it will not be long before a decision be come to, at London Wall, I feel desirous that the present vacancy be come known, through your columns, in Scotland, in order that candidates may have an opportunity of offering, and the congregation of making, an eligible and satisfactory choice. Could this be effected, it would be one step to wards raising the Presbytery from its present powerless mediocrity, and if followed up in future appointments, of placing it in a condition to gain the respect, and promote the well-being of their fellow-countrynien. Your obliged and constant Reader, Sept. 23, 1836. SCOTUS. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday a Court was held for the despatch of business. THE GREAT COAL-OWNERS. Mr. C. PEARSON said that the great coal-owners were calculating upon having thrown out the Durham Railway Bills, and determined to raise the price of the commodity two shillings a chaldron. He moved, for the purpose of bringing forward a measure calculated to check them in the attempt, that the Remembrancer should apply for a copy of the report and evidence before the Parliamentary Corn mittee.—Agreed to. Mr. PRIOR presented a petition from Elizabeth Ibbott, a poor woman, whose son was drowned in a barge in the Thames by coming in contact with a steam-vessel. The pe tition stated that a deodand of 1001. had been levied upon the steam-vessel, and paid by the proprietors into the hands of the Sheriffs,:and prayed that the corporation would inter fere to procure for her that penalty on account of her po verty, and the large family of six children whom she had to support, and whom the assiduous exertions of her deceased son had greatly contributed to maintain.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Prior thought that the Court would best dispose of the petition by at once granting its prayer. Mr. C. PEARSON apprehended that as the accident by which the son of the petitioner lost his life occurred in the county of Middlesex, the deodand must go to the King. He suggested that, in order to avoid mistakes, it would be advisable to submit the case to the City Solicitor. Mr. Paton acceded to this proposition, expressing, at the same time, his conviction that whether the King or the Sheriffs had a claim to the money the petitioner would ex perience the full effect of the liberality of the claimant. THE CITY OF LONDON SCHOOL. Mr. HALE, the Chairman of the City of London School Committee, brought up the report, which contained a detail of the academical course, and of the regulations. The report was then unanimously adopted. GRESHAM LECTURES. Mr. BAYLIS gave notice of motion that it be referred to the Gresham and City of London School Committees to consider the practicability and expediency of procuring the removal of the lectures founded by Sir Thomas Gresham, and now delivered in the Royal Exchange, to the Lectur ing Theatre of the City of London School ; and also to consider whether any and what steps should be taken to make them more available and useful to the public, both as to 'the time and the language in which they are delivered ; and that it be an instruction to the Committees to confer with each other, with the Mercers' Company, and with the Gresham Professors, on this subject, and jointly to report their opinions thereon, with the result of such conferences, to the Court forthwith. IMPROVEMENTS AT ST. PAUL'S AND THE POST-OFFICE. Deputy Gibbs, the Chairman of the City Lands Com mittee, brought up a report, recommending that the Coin rnittee should be authorized to proceed in letting the grounds at the west end of Cheapside, for building, as ori ginally contemplated. The LORD MAYOR stated that he had received a note from Alderman Wood, who was unavoidably absent, ex pressing a hope that the Court would persevere in the course adopted upon a former occasion and wait for the Parliamentary Report on the subject of improvements, when they would see what were the intentions of the House of Commons on the subject. Mr. R. L. JONES declared that nothing could be more absurd than to agree to the report. It would, in fact, be only building houses to pull them down again. Instead of building at the end of Cheapside they ought to level, in order to comply with the noble spirit of improvement which is now daily increasing. Any one who would look at the space between St. Paul's and the Post-office must see that two more houses must be pulled doWn before that passage to the Cathedral could be said to be properly opened.—( Hear, hear.) Two thirds of the property in the way of an improvement so important belonged to Govern ment, and there existed so strong a feeling of the necessity of improvement, that it would be preposterous in the Cor poration to attempt to check it. On the contrary, it w as their duty to encourage and promote such a principle. Mr. Jones concluded by moving an amendment to the effect of counteracting the recommendation. Deputy WESTWOOD would much rather see the city of London prosperous than beautiful, and how its prosperity could be heightened by taking away the houses of trade he was at a loss to know. The project of widening the streets at the crossings was full of danger also. That immediately opposite to the Mansion-house, - which it was most hazar dous to pass, was an instance of the fact. He thought that if people wanted to see St. Paul's, there were places enough from which it might be viewed with advantage with out an interference with the trade of the city, or addition to the already great dangers of life and limb. Mr. PRIOR thought that the Court ought to wait until the document alluded to by Alderman Wood should be laid before the Court. Mr. Jones's amendment was then carried by a large ma jority.

Mr. BAYLIS moved that the proceedings of "the` Court of the 14th of July, by which the resolutions of the 14th of April, with regard to recording the names of Members on divisions, was defeated, be expunged, from the minutes, as involving a breach of the 20th Standing Order, and that the Report of the General Purposes Committee, recommend ing a plan for taking down the names, be forthwith carried into effect. Mr. Baylis contended that there had been a palpable violation of the Standing Orders, which .provided that no resolution or proceeding be rescinded except by notice of motion, and that this regulation was so wholesome and essential in a deliberative assembly, that if it could be broken with impunity, all certainty and finality would be taken away from the proceedings of the Court, and the Members themselves would have hut little confidence in them, and the public still less. It should be remembered, too, that the Court, being a representative body, ought to be made as responsible to public opinion as possible. It was not a party question, and he hoped that mien of politi cal opinions, widely differing from his own, would be found concurring in the justice and propriety of ascertaining and recording the way is which Members exercised the trust reposed in them. The motion was carried by a large majority, after a dis cussion, in which Mr. Wire and Mr. Hill were for the affirmative, and Mr. Anderson and Mr. Ticknor were for the negative.—Adjourned. Lord Minto visited Lord Palmerston yesterday, at the Foreign Department. We regret to learn that Mad. Malibran is still confined to her bed, from which she has not been removed even for a moment since she was conveyed to it. Signor de Beriot, who has been in constant attendance upon her, became so much alarmed during Friday, that he determined on sending for her own physician, Dr. Bellomini, of the Quadrant, Re gent-street, who arrived on Sunday evening, and has since re mained with her. Tuesday morning, for the first time, Mad. Malibran was placed in a chair for a few moments, till her bed was made. She appeared much exhausted by the effort, and during great part of the afternoon remained silent and mo tionless. On inquiry at eleven o'clock that night, we learned that during the evening she was somewhat better ; that her cough was not so bad; and that though there is still much fever, yet it had partially abated. Under these circumstance! , neither herself nor Signor de Beriot can possibly fulfil their engagements at Norwich and Worcest er ; an d such is the weak state of Madame Malibran, that, were she even conva lescent, it is most probable that her physician would interdict her singing again so early as she . would do, if s h e a tt e mpted to fulfil her engagement at the Liverpool festival the week after next.—Manchester Guardian.

The workmen employed at the manufactories of steam-engine boilers at Liverpool lately turned out for an ad vance of wages, and before they would consent to return to their work they required their masters to accede to several most unreasonable demands. The masters refused to listen to their terms, or to take any of them again into their employ, unless they would quit the " union," which the misled men have been prevailed upon to join. The consequence is that several very extensive factories, the finest in the kingdom, employing from 360 to 500 hands each, are now at a stand still, and the men are wandering about the streets indulging in idleness and drunkenness. On Wednesday the engine of the Comet post office packet, lying in the Clarence dock, re quiring some repairs in the boiler, four mon were sent for from Holyhead to do the work. The sound of their hammers soon brought a few of the workmen to the spot, and as the number increased it was feared an attempt would be made to force the four men to quit the premises. Mr. Dowling, the superintendant of the dock police, was apprised of the circum stance, and he instantly placed himself at the head of a party of men and repaired to the spot. The " turn outs" were then in front of the factory, but the moment they observed the police they dispersed and went away. - - A coroner's inquest was held at Falmouth, Jamaica, in July, on the body of Serjeant Thackeragh, of the b6th Re giment, who came by his death in the following manner : About a week previously the deceased was alarmed by the cries of the wife of the Barrack Serjeant Collins, who was beating her with much violence, and in a state of intoxication. He proceeded towards Collins's apartment for the purpose of preventing any further breach of the peace. Repairs were at the time going on, and a ladder was erected against the house. Serjeant Thackeragh observing that to be the nearest way to Collins's room, ran up the ladder, but as soon as the latter saw him he rushed into the piazza,. exclaiming 44 Your life or mine !" and immediately overturned the ladder, tmd deceased fell to the ground. He,complained of great pain in his side,. but was able to return to his guard after the lapse of 'a few minutes. In the course of the day, however, be was obliged to go to the hospital, and died in a few day@ afterwards. The medical man who opened the body found that the liver was much diseased, and gave it.as his opinion that the deceased could not have lived. The jury consequently returned, a diet of " Natural death," accompanied by a recominendat.um that some restraint should be imposed upon Seigeant tekhil 4 " ct It was st a t e d t h a t thi s ma il h a d been wounded in the head , . a l'. when he took spirits, let the quantity be ever so asean,uiet e be came completely mad ; when sober .he is alarrnlespiind t I man.

SPIRIT 1W THE PUBLIC JOURNALm. Is it the wish of the Tory journals to uphold Lord Lyndhurst's character, or to earn the Learned Baron's gratitude or friendship ? Or have they conspired to blast his reputation—such as it is—under the guise of partisanship ? We ask the qu es ti o n because of the extraordinary articles which have recently appeared in a notorious Morning print, and in its evening tale bearer—articles so mischievous to the object of their apparent advocacy as to prove their authors to be either egregious asses, who do not comprehend the .harm they are doing to their friend, or covert foes who have plotted the Learned Lord's ruin, and put on the garb of friendship, the more surely and safely to effect their sinister purpose. Judging from the arti cles to which we allude, the authors arc unquestionably idiots or assassins. For what do they maintain, de spite the obvious import of Mr. O'Connell's letter of the 18th August—the part of which that bears upon Lord Lyndhurst personally we republished on Thurs day—despite the remarks of the Liberal journals—de spite the explicit contradiction of their original mali cious inuendo, or rather assertion, contained in Mr. O'Connell's letter to the Editors of the Times ? Why, that Mr. O'Connell did threaten, in his let ter to the Secretary of the General Association, to publish the history of Baron Lvndluirst's private life. Right or wrong, the Learned Baron'sfiiends (?) will have it that his private life is threatened with exposure—an exposure which, if one were to judge by the soreness felt or simulated by his advocates, the Learned Lord could not bear up against. Is this the way to serve a friend or to evince friendship ? We doubt if Lord Lyndhurst will think so. Sure we are that his Lordship owes no obligation to his backers. But with this we have nothing to do ; and, accordingly, we pass on to a more legitimate subject of discussion —namely, the public character of Lord Lyndhurst. The position now occupied by the Learned Baron, as leader of the Obstructives—at all events in the House of Lords, the Tory Members of which seem to be no other than puppets, subject to the control and moved at the will of a parvenu—this strange position, in which an upstart and a Republican figures as the leader of an ancient and oligarchical Peerage, together With the extravagant and unwarranted eulogies which the Tory press has thought it consistent with truth and discre tion to bestow on the Learned Lord, make it a duty upon us to analyse his pretensions to respect as a pub lic man, and to consideration as a statesman. Before, however, we do this, let us put the reader in possession of the panegyrics pronounced upon the Noble and Learned Baron's public character by his foolish or malevolent flatterers. The Standard asks— " What can there be more preposterous than to talk of the hideousness of a Nobleman's public conduct, of whom the public knows already that, having ascended to the first rank of the bar, not merely with unspotted honour, but with a brilliant reputation for candour, humanity, inte grity, and generous bearing, as well as genius, he 'has pur sued an undeviating course of patriotism during the sixteen or seventeen years of his Parliamentary career ? We ask pardon for an error—his Lordship did deviate once, and fatally ; but it was under the guidance of an ingenuous and noble credulity. He deviated when he had been per suaded to believe that Mr. O'Connell, and persons like Mr. O'Connell, would not stretch to the portentous guilt of making solemn and periodical perjury a part of their poli tical system. This is the single deviation in the Noble Lord's public career ; but surely Mr. O'Connell and his apologists will not number this among the hideous details threatened to be brought forth." The reader will please to look again at the passage we have marked in italics. In that passage there is as much of pettifogging dexterity as ever signalized the shabbiest Old Bailey practitioner. First, we have the inflated eulogy upon Lord Lyndhurst's career as a lawyer ; and then comes the cunning limitation of praise of his political or " patriotic" conduct to the 16 or 17 years of his " Parliamentary" career. How nicely the Republicanism—the Radicalism— the Jacobinism of John Singleton Copley, Esq., is slurred over in order to get at the " undeviating pa triotism "—in other words the virulent, unprincipled, selfish, mercenary Toryism of Sir John Singleton Copley and Baron Lyndhurst. Unquestionably Lord Lyndhurst has pursued a Tory course since he entered Parliament, and is so far consistent ; but herein we charge him with the basest inconsistency that ever de graded a politician. A violent Radical, or rather Revolu tionist, on circuit, he all at once became as violent a Tory in the Senate. Exchanging his early opinions and prin - - ciplcs in an hour, for the favour of a Minister to whom these opinions were hateful, he lost his character when he found a seat in the House of Commons. The un purchased Liberal of one day became the hired bigot of the next. A Treasury whisper converted the Re publican barrister into the Ultra-Royalist Solicitor- General: The Reformer, in a word, became a cor ruptionist—the Catholic Emancipator, an intolerant foe of religious liberty—the Latitudinarian a High Churchman—the leveller a Conservative ; and this cx- traordinary metamorphosis was all effected in far less time than it has taken us to recall the infamous fact to the recollection of the public. The Minister was a Tory he had places high and emolumentary to bestow ; he held out the largess ; and Copley, too indolent to labour too pure to indulge his disposition too ambitious to be pure grasped the golden lure, and obtained a place, by becom ing an apostate. In Parliament, he has been pretty consistent in the flagitious inconsistency which won him a Tory patron. But, even here, with what revolting want of principle is his career marked ! Look at him as the opponent of Catholic Emancipa tion in 1827, which in his early career he advocated [Did he not write a pamphlet in its favour fl —and again its advocate in 1829 ! For the course pursued by the Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel on that occasion there is much to be said in excuse, though we always felt that it would have been better had they resigned office, and allowed a Whig Cabinet to settle the Catholic Question. But for the double apostacy evinced in the relapsed liberalism of Lord Lyndhurst there was no palliation. A man may change his opinions once upon a great question—from honourable, virtuous motives. Such was the conduct of Mr. Brownlow, and we do believe of the Duke of Wellington, on the Catholic Question ; but it is im possible to believe that a rational being can, with a pure intention, shift and re-shift his political opi nions with as much facility as if he were shift ing the knights and bishops on a chess-board. And was not this the conduct of Baron Lynd hurst in reference to the Catholic Claims ? As Master of the Rolls we find him denouncing these claims in 1827, and, by the " renegade vigour " of his hostility, exciting the indignation of Mr. Can ning. As Lord Chancellor we find him strenuously advocating the same claims in 1829, and calling forth the scathing rebuke of Sir Charles Wetherell. As the friends of the Learned Baron will have his public con duct discussed, let them settle with him the account for eliciting the republication of the follow non- ing extTceus s from the speech then delivered by the Attorney-General :" fugacto " When he, the Attorney-General o f the King, was called on to frame an Act of Parliament, it t i h v e as not .. un natural that he, as a lawyer, shouldna:lo:lkfietththeou:ohp:nhleonw an a higher authority than himself, cellor, to direct his judgment. of 4 Sh ield when he took placing himself under a s trong Chancellor up his position under the buckler of Le/11,a,_Lyndhurst. —(Hear, hear.)

It would also be in the recollection of hundreds, that that eminent individual, than whom none was more acute in reasoning, more clas sical in language, and more powerful in delivery—that in dividual, then Master of the Rolls, but now Lord Chan cellor, quarrelled with the late Mr. Canning on this very subject. * * Was he, then, to blame for refusing - to do that, in the subordinate Mike of Attorney-General, which a more eminent adviser of the Crown, only two years ago, de clared he would not consent to do ? Was he, then, to br twitted, taunted, and attacked # * He dared them to attack him. He had no speech to eat up. He had no apostacy to explain. He had no paltry subterfuge , to re sort to. He had not to say that a thing was black one day and white another. . HE WA'S NOT IN ONE YEAR A PRO TESTANT MASTER OF THE ROLLS, AND IN THE NEXT A CATHOLIC LORD CHANCELLOR. He would rather re main as he was, the humble Member for Plympton, than be guilty of such apostacy—such contradiction—such maw plainabk [Place explained it easily] conversion—such mise rable, such cogtemptible apostacy. He would state no thing without authorit; ; and, therefore, he would read an extract from the speech delivered by the present Lord Chancellor (Lyndhurst) tvco years ago, which would com pletely bear out the observations he (Sir Charles Vvretherell) had made." And this is the man, thus characterised by a gentle man, who certainly has through life exhibited the most unswerving, chivalrous adherence to his principles — Tory principles—whom the Tory journals of the pre sent day, then as violent in the denunciation of his " unexplainable, contemptible apostacy," as Sir C. Wetherell, now magnify as a prophet, laud to the skies as a paragon of public virtue, and to hold out to the present and future generations as a model of integrity, sincerity, consistency, wisdom, discretion, and all the other virtues that are compatible with human nature I'. We think we have said enough to make the Learned Lord's friends observe a discreet silence in future respecting his political career, if they are not resolved to sacrifice him to their disastrous zeal or masked hatred. Should they impose upon us the necessity of reverting to the subject, the Learned Baron shall have reason to cry out, in the bitterness of his soul, " De liver me from my friends !"—Morning Chronicle. Two Whig-Radical displays have just taken place —the one at 'Wicklow, in Ireland, presided over. by the High Sheriff, and attended by Earl Fitzwilliam ; the other at Taunton, in England, where Sir Thomas Lethbridge figured as Chairman. We could have been content to pass both meetings over in merciful silence, but that the Ministerial journals are so loud in their admiration of the Whig-Radical oratory there delivered. Let us then examine what there is to ad mire in the one case or the other. County meetings are often composed of assemblages which represent, and which sometimes indeed actually embrace, a very large proportion of the affluence, rank, and character of their respective " counties." There are other county meetings which well deserve that disrespectful epithet which has been applied to such by the greatest enemy of humbug perhaps existing—to wit, by the Duke of Wellington, when he called them " farces." It is of this latter description of meeting that we speak when we refer our readers to a report of that which took place on Monday last in Wicklow, distinctly and undisguisedly to puff the two most factious measures of the Melbourne Ministry. Earl Fitzwilliain attended, or rather indeed the meet ing attended him, for the Noble Earl appeared, in truth, to be " first, and last, and midst," &c.—nay, to be himself the entire county meeting ; of which, with not half-a-dozen exceptions, the whole of those who were present, who took a part, and who had any knowable name or habitation, were simply dependents of the Noble Earl, or tenants on his extensive pro perty—or agitating priests—or salaried servants of Lord Mulgrave's Government, paid, or supposed to be paid, out of the public treasury, for tranquillizing the country, and preserving the King's peace—not for in flaming and blowing up the popular spirit by their presence at meetings held for the purpose of exaggerat ing or inventing grievances, and turning the fierceness oia rude and irascible race of men against the noblest and most venerated institutions of the empire. This meeting was called, as it seems, by requisition to the Sheriff, which Sheriff is a Mr. Parnell, brother of that Sir H. Parnell, who, after being turned out of his own county (Queen's County) by O'Connell and the priests, was inflicted by Radical influence upon the Scotch borough of Dundee, and now holds some infe rior office under the same O'Connell's Cabinet. To a Dublin Contemporary (the Evening Mail) the Eng lish public are indebted for an analysis and classifica tion of the county of Wicklow, which shows what a pitiful fraud it is to describe as an expression of the senti ments of that affluent county, where there are such numbers of resident gentlemen, anything that passed at a meeting thus called and constituted. The requi sitionists did not amount to one part in fifty of the county of Wicklow gentlemen ; and of those who signed the requisition, a considerable number, as one of the speakers informs us, absented themselves from the meeting. After Lord Fitzwilliam himself there parades among the ten justices of the peace who signed and attended in subserviency to the will of their overgrown Lord of the dirty acres, Mr. Chaloner, his own steward ; Mr. Hume, the said steward's son-in-law, a stipendiary magistrate newly fastened on the nation by Lord Mut grave ; Mr. Redmond, another stipendiary, and a Roman Catholic—not the worse, we willingly agree, for that last, but much the worse for being at once a magistrate and a dabbler in faction; Messrs. Segrave and Byrne, two Roman Catholic Magistrates, and an apothecary, a Fitzwilliani tenant. Lord Fitzwil liam himself, and two other Lords, made up the full number of ten justices. Of the Peers who washed their hands of the whole proceeding, there ap pertain to the county of Wicklow nine, of Magistrates thirty. The Members of Parliament were Mr. Howard, a joint of the tail that screws on and off again, as occasion requires ; the two Messrs. Grattan, whom we arc very far from blaming for any mark of devotion to Lord Fitzwilliam, considering the friend ship that subsisted between their respective parents, although such a motive for the deference shown by the above gentleman to the Noble Lord, who, besides, possesses in his bands the means of returning whom his Lordship pleases for the county, reduces to zero any political value which might otherwise have at tached itself, if any could, to Members of Parliament whose votes are almost invariably to be found in the same list with Mr. O'Connell's. Mr. Fitzsimon, the son-in-law of that illustrious personage, was the only other senator (God save the mark) at the meeting. We can add nothing to the unanswerable observations made by last night's Standard upon the indecency and indignity of stipendiary magistrates making themselves political partisans, in a country where nine-tenths of their magisterial duty consist of efforts to prevent or bring to punishment crimes springing from that politi cal excitement which meetings like this at Wicklow, for all the calculating plausibility of Lord Fitzwil liam, arc amongst the chief means of keeping up. There is one thing to be observed upon respecting this day's performances—viz., that in no resolution, nor in any speech, was there one syllable uttered which could be construed into the faintest compliment to Mr. Daniel O'Connell, or even the most distant allusion to his politics—a fact which proves the hugger-mugger Fitz williamite spirit in which the whole affair was got up, since it must be recollected that this same Lord and his deceased father were made by O'Connell, during many months, spitting-boxes for all the bile and venom which he could discharge from his overloaded stomach ; lie succeeding lie, and the most daring and disgusting effrontery being resorted to by that malignant impostor to cover with the hatred of the Popish rabble, on the score of their being harsh and persecuting landlords, noblemen, who, whatever may be their politics, have always been exemplary in the private relations of life, and eminently kind to all who held leases under them. Not a word was here said for O'Connell I How far his gaping vanity may be disappointed by such an omission, it is not for us to guess, but it would not surprise us to see symptoms of sourness before many days have expired. There is little worth remark con nected with the above meeting beyond the few per sonal characteristics of it which we have already noticed. The subjects touched upon were the Irish Municipal Bill, the Irish Tithe Bill, and the intractable conduct of the House of Lords with regard to both—that is, for passing a Bill to abolish tithe for ever, and another to get rid or Protestant Corporations for ever, the two grand nuisances which Papists have these five years been complaining of, but which Bills the majority of the House of Commons—more stubborn than O'Connell refused to pass, for he, the crafty hypocrite, recom mended the Whig Ministers to accept them. As for the speeches themselves, they were far below medio crity, the Noble Lord's own included. Now let us turn to the feed of the West Somersetshire Whig- Radicals at Taunton. Mr. Bickham Eseott, not many years ago, told the Radical-Reformers of this 'division of the county, that if they remained true to their poli tical creed, Somersetshire was likely long to continue lkAift, THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1836.
